Hello there!
Because I didn't want to spend too much money, I only got this set and a small Agents 2.0 set. Anyhoo, let's get started, shall we?
The Box
The box is the same size as that of 8967 Gold Tooth's Getaway.



On the side of the box, you can find an ad for a Lego Space videogame. You can discuss the ad here.

Content
Inside the box, there are two bags, a loose engine piece, the instructions, and a sticker sheet.

Note that my engine piece came with hardened glue drops on it which I had to peal off.

Notable pieces include the new fire piece and the new flick-fire missile holder piece.

Minifigs
The two minifigs included in this set are Kranxx and a Space Police officer with sunglasses, and they are the only printed pieces in the set. Both have very detailed leg printing. Kranxx' mouth is a hole that goes right into the stud hole of his head. This allows you to see the white stripe on his neck through his mouth. The head itself seems to be made out of the same plastic as normal minifig heads.

From the side (with the officer's visor down):

The backs have printing as well. Note that I removed the air tanks of the officer for this pic.

The Set
First, you build the stop sign and traffic light. Not much to show here. The traffic light has studs all around it so that you can add more "lights" to it if you want.

Next, you build the cop's hoverbike.





With the minifig on it:



The engine on the back of the bike can turn 360 degrees and the missile launchers can be pulled out and used as a hand held weapon for the space cop. Those missiles are supposed to be the freeze rays mentioned in the title of the set. Don't ask me why they are called rays when they are actually missiles.

The last thing you build is Kranxx' pimped-out Hot Rod Hoverbike. It is made up of two parts.





Here are some pics of the top and bottom. Note that I turned the fire piece 90 degrees to make it look better. If you don't change it, the fire piece just looks like an orange line, like in the Back pic above.


With the minifig:


Left-Over Pieces

Bonus
First, here is a little movie reference:

And secondly, here is a little head-swapping: Kranxx after a sex change, and bad-boy Ahsoka.

More pics in the Brickshelf folder.
Stay tuned for my ratings!
